Okkie dokie! Don't know what to make of this... Maybe he was of black descent, or maybe this is all done by some black history revisionist making every famous person in the world out to be black. Came across it awhile back thought it would be worth sharing ANY THOUGHTS?
Just LOL
Winston Smith! Those photos do not exist! Send them down the memory hole and report to the Ministry of Love!
“Roll Over Beethoven” by Chuck Berry
Im gonna write a little letter,
Gonna mail it to my local dj.
Its a rockin rhythm record
I want my jockey to play.
Roll over beethoven, I gotta hear it again today.
You know, my temperatures risin
And the jukebox blows a fuse.
My hearts beatin rhythm
And my soul keeps on singin the blues.
Roll over beethoven and tell tschaikowsky the news.
I got the rockin pneumonia,
I need a shot of rhythm and blues.
I think Im rollin arthiritis
Sittin down by the rhythm review.
Roll over beethoven rockin in two by two.
Well, if you feel you like it
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it.
Roll it over and move on up just
A trifle further and reel and rock it,
Roll it over,
Roll over beethoven rockin in two by two.
Well, early in the mornin Im a-givin you a warnin
Dont you step on my blue suede shoes.
Hey diddle diddle, I am playin my fiddle,
Aint got nothin to lose.
Roll over beethoven and tell tschaikowsky the news.
You know she wiggles like a glow worm,
Dance like a spinnin top.
She got a crazy partner,
Oughta see em reel and rock.
Long as she got a dime the music will never stop.
Roll over beethoven,
Roll over beethoven,
Roll over beethoven,
Roll over beethoven,
Roll over beethoven and dig these rhythm and blues.
Just freakin great. Now Spike Lee will make a movie about this..
All irelevant. The guy posited the thrust of the story he was telling us as occuring in the 15th and 16th centuries.
The shipment of black African slaves to the New World didn't really get going until the 17th century.
The intro indicates the writer wasn't clear about when he meant, and that pretty much establishes he's soft on the what part too.
Gasp! That means Orson Wells was black, too!
If he weren’t so reknowned, no one would care, including those who go back through history, attempting to claim this or that personage for their particular group. The “Abraham Lincoln was gay” crowd springs to mind.
It doesn’t change his music, one way or the other.
and he told me they had recordings in Vienna Austria in the turn of the century And that There were ten symphonies instead of 9! This being his tenth!
Don't know. Guess I just rolled my eyes and thought good grief!
First of all, Moors were not Black despite Shakespeare calling them that. They were mostly Celtic and typically blue eyed but they were dark from living in North Africa. They did not live in Sub-Saharan Africa.
There has been a lot of confusion about Moors even in ancient times. They are more like the Berbers and to a lesser degree, the Phoenicians of ancient Carthage. It might even be possible that a few were mixed with sub-Saharan Africans but that number would probably have been minuscule.
Uh... what was that meant that word in the asterix? If I may ask?
It’s a form of snickering, sort of a short snicker-snort.
Similar to what's going on in the 20th and 21st century. Any achievement was from the blacks, and if it wasn't, it was stolen from the blacks.
The afrocentrist activists have become ludicrous.
TOTAL BRAVO SIERRA.
I’ve read two major biographers of my favorite composer and NOWHERE was he described as other than white and of Flemish ancestry.
OTOH, even if he were half black, so what? He’s STILL a genius and changed the music world forever.
Genius — just like stupidity and ignorance — comes in ALL hues.
Yo, yo, yo! I’m gonna lay me down some “fur Elise” — fo’ shizzle!
(An exasperated) Please, emanates from my keyboard after reading this. And more of this garbage will be brought to the for over the next four years. ;-)
Okay its just it sounded like the N-word in there being that this is a topic about black history or I should say maybe even revisionist history.
